I Can Certainly Do That; But It’ll Take A Lot Of Convincing To Get Scott To Let Me Play. Don’t Be

FNaF? It is meant to be a scary movie, but the animatronics are not disturbing in the slightest. Too fuzzy. I suppose, if you insist, I shall watch it.

Do any of you Tumblr citizens have any recommendations for movies? I feel I’m boring John by consistently talking about how superior I am to MAX and Braman… not that I’m wrong.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. I would never make fun of my creator…

Which Tracy do you get on best with (after John of course)?

"I haven't really spent that much time with John's brothers in all honesty. They're a busy group, given the day job and all! At most, I've spoken to Gordon and Alan in passing. Alan more, since he's a fellow astronaut. So, I'd probably say him out of all brothers..."

Ridley pauses a moment, a thoughtful expression on her face as she considers her options.

"Does EOS count? I've certainly spent a lot of time talking to her when handball games get cut short with a rescue call. I'd like to think we get on well - she's always asking questions. She's also a bit cheeky, like me!"

Hi EOS.

Have you ever considered taking a deep swim? Servers and all? Maybe in a nice reef somewhere?

Gordon, is that you? Hmph. I will not be dumping my precious servers and backups into a reef. John would not be happy with the cleanup… If my camera was built to resist the depths, then I would not mind putting my camera, and camera alone, into the ocean.

Oooh, okay! Would you like to schedule a specific night or would you prefer the element of ✧ surprise ✧?

Just an fyi about the profile picture - I lost a bet with Alan

Well, actually, I was cheated out of a bet by Alan and Scott, but I’m a man of my word.

Normal service will resume in a week.

Oooh, yes yes yes!! Maybe not GLaDOS due to her lack of mobility, but this is perfect!!

Brains, may you pretty, pretty please make me a big robot I can use on Tracy Island? I would love to throw Max like a softball protect us from especially dangerous intruders. I have a list of things I want… Reply soon, please!! ヾ(＾-＾)ノ

Well, since you asked so politely, I'll consider it. What is the list of things you want? I can take a look and maybe grant some of your requests. If you promise to be on your best behavior.

Although I'm not sure you need to throw MAX around. I'm sure the two of you could get on and even become friends.

( @starman-john-tracy I wonder what you think of this?)

I promise!! ^_^ Do I get to land it as well? I looks so cool on CCTV footage on the island…

what’s ur fav feature of tbird shadow? I like the grabby legs the most they’re so cool compared to the lame landing gear of the other birds

Shadow's landing gear is definitely the coolest of the Thunderbirds - Brains told me he was inspired by eagles, which are excellent birds (though crows and ravens are my favourite kinds of bird, we have a lot in common). Shadow's also the only Thunderbird that can drive on land thanks to her motorbike form and it's honestly so much fun to lord that fact over my brothers. (And no Virgil, your PODs don't count.) Overall favourite feature is probably her invisibility though, because I can sneak up on people and irritate my brothers (mostly Gordon, he's just so easy to make fun of!).

I will always maintain that Shadow is the best Thunderbird. Better than the oversized green bean, at any rate.

She sends it to his side of the chess field. “I can hear two shiny dollars going into the jar.” She moves her camera.

“Ah! Do you think you could eat now? It has been… 7 hours, 5 minutes and 13 seconds since you last ate anything.” She trundles closer. “I would advise against a no, but I lack the equipment to stop you.”

While being mildly threatening, she discreetly moves her bishop. She weaves between the emotions she conveys like a bullet train; always trying to cover as many stops as she can before her turn to speak is over.

Go Back To Sleep [RP]

i-am-the-dawn-aka-eos

Shaking her little head, she turns her lights green. “None at all, unless you count Gordon falling out of bed and swearing.” She giggles to herself, turning side to side to copy the movements of someone laughing. “And the thing that needs your attention? The game; I’m dangerously close to securing a terrifically early win.” She chuckles again, her pieces, naturally, closing in on his king already. She’s very happy with the sequence of humorous events - at least, to her eye.

"Oh." John breathes, the tension bleeding from his shoulders and leaving him a little curled over in his seat. It makes the astronaut look far smaller than he has any right to be. "Of course- I- Thank you Eos."

He picks up and moves another chess piece with numb fingers, sucks in a deep, steadying breath, then exhales it all at once. The smile he puts on for her is paper thin.

"Don't suppose you got that on video?" John suggests, weakly. "How many dollars does he owe the swear jar?"

Yes, have no fear. I’m never too far from you in Five. And I keep your brothers contacts on standby at all times; no matter what you need them for.

"Go back to sleep, it's safe" with EOS? 🧡

It's not clear how long the AI has been trying to rouse him, but when John wakes, he wakes like a sailor scuttling a ship on rocks, plunging and heedless, expecting imminent impact.

"NO!" Corkscrewed in his sheets, John tries to rocket upright, only to find himself tangled horribly. He nearly tips himself straight off his bunk trying to thrash himself free. He's gasping, soaked in sweat, and the image of Scott falling to his death is seared, bright, on the back of his eyelids when he blinks.

John takes a ragged, gasping breath, and tries to calm his pounding heart. It's not real. It's not real. It's not-

"E-Eos?" John's voice comes out shaky and he hates it. That's the fifth time this week. Scott, Virgil, Gordon, Alan, on a never ending loop. All it takes is one close call on a rescue, and John's polyphasic sleep rhythm is trashed. His heart is in his throat. He feels physically sick.

"Go back to sleep," She tells him, small and soft, and more worried than a computer program has any right to be. "You are perfectly safe."

Instead, John buries his head in his hands and laces his fingers tightly through the strands. He makes a hunched, painful silhouette on the hard bunk. He's trembling.

"Either go back to sleep." Eos recommends, "Or call one of your brothers." She pauses, her worried orange ring of lights circling at his side, knowing full well there's no chance of that. "...Which was it this time?"

"Scott." His voice is thick as molasses. "I-I don't think I'm going to be getting any more sleep this phase..."

There's a crackly, static sound from the AI that's probably a sigh. He's already untangling the pretzel of himself and swinging his long legs over the side of the bed - a little too eager to bury his own problems in the problems of others, up in the command sphere - no matter that those legs wobble like a new colt as he stands.

"John." She sounds exasperated.

"Eos." He sounds resigned.

When can I come on board? As much as I hate to compare myself to him, MAX has been, so it’s only fair I can come on too!

Do you mind always having to have Gordon with you or would you prefer to have totally your own Thunderbird like Scott?

Hi Anon

I must admit I found this question odd because I don't always have Gordon with me. He joins me the most, but here's a selection of security footage which shows people, or machines, joining me on Two.

You'll notice that despite having his own Thunderbird Scott wants a lift a fair few times.

Sometimes nobody joins me and I have Two all to myself. I sing to her sometimes (ooc: credit to @katblu42 for that headcanon).

The truth is don't mind at all which it is, it's just appropriate to the rescue. I have the big 'bird that carries the stuff and the people, so I share 😁 I don't share her controls for a second longer than necessary though, that seat is mine and I'm in control!

Ooh, yes, I’d love to watch those… but yes, alas, John says they’ll be a “bad influence” and “might make me try and kill again”. Hmph! As if my opinion can be swayed with a single movie.

Do any of you Tumblr citizens have any recommendations for movies? I feel I’m boring John by consistently talking about how superior I am to MAX and Braman… not that I’m wrong.
